How to use Smack 4.2 for connecting to ejabberd?

Question

I have changed my app to use Smack 4.2 replacing Smack 4.1

But I'm getting an error in the config.setServiceName();

The parameter to this method has been changed from String to DomainBareJid. I don't know how to use DomainBareJid and setServiceName in this new Smack.

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration
                .builder();
        config.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);


        config.setServiceName("What should i put here?");


        config.setHost(serverAddress);
        config.setPort(5222);
        config.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
        connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());

        connection.setUseStreamManagement(true);

And if I dont set the Service name, then I get the following error:

Please help by providing some sample code to set the serviceName.

I have finally used a released version of Smack 4.1 and posted the complete implementation here : http://marothiatechs.blogspot.in/2015/08/building-your-own-android-chat_18.html — Laxman Marothiya, Aug 19 '15 at 05:04

DomainBareJid serviceName = JidCreate.domainBareFrom("example.org");
config.setServiceName(serviceName);

Thanks... `setServiceName( DomainBareJid serviceName)` now deprecated... use `setXmppDomain(DomainBareJid xmppServiceDomain)` instead. It's hard to keep up sometimes! – mike rodent Oct 01 '16 at 16:33
Thanks Ninogumy. This was very helpful! :) – Mike Oct 23 '17 at 11:57

Service name should be your served host names. eg:

config.setServiceName("gtalk.com");

I am not able to provide string as a parameter in this new smack 4.2 – Laxman Marothiya Apr 06 '15 at 14:52
Oh! Services name should be string. Please use 4.1 stable built instead of alpha versions. – Zaw Myo Htet Apr 07 '15 at 05:16
@ZMH haha... I think you'll find that this is a design choice (designed to make all our lives ever more complicated), rather than anything to do with alphas and betas! – mike rodent Oct 01 '16 at 16:35

Here is how to do it using Smack 4.4

   XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration conf = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
            .setHostAddress(InetAddress.getByName(host))
            .setXmppDomain(JidCreate.domainBareFrom(Domain))
            .setUsernameAndPassword("username", "password")
            .setPort(5222)
            .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
            .build();
    AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(conf);
    connection.connect();
    connection.login();

Thanks, I was searching for a way to do it for 4.4 and I could not find many resources. This was helpful. — Simran Sharma, Mar 03 '21 at 10:33

        DomainBareJid serviceName = null;
        try
        {
            serviceName = JidCreate.domainBareFrom("yourdomain.com");
        }
        catch (XmppStringprepException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
                .setUsernameAndPassword("1234567890@test", "123")
                .setHost("yourhostname.com")
                .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
                //.setSendPresence(true)
                .setXmppDomain(serviceName)
                .setPort(5222)
                .setDebuggerEnabled(true) // to view what's happening in detail
                .build();

        conn = new XMPPTCPConnection(config);

I have tested this and works fine.

this is my code to connecting , it worked perfectly .

    DomainBareJid domainBareJid = JidCreate.domainBareFrom(mServiceName) ;
    XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder builder=
            XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
    builder.setServiceName(domainBareJid);
    builder.setHostAddress(InetAddress.getByName(mServiceName));
    builder.setUsernameAndPassword(mUsername, mPassword);
     builder.setResource("resource");
    builder.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);

    mConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(builder.build());
    mConnection.addConnectionListener(this);
    mConnection.connect();
    mConnection.login();

now Im using smack 4.2 and this codes works without any problem. — Hosein Kord, Sep 26 '17 at 10:44
